I mean Big 7 partners and in-house counsels at some major places. Not all are nepo kids. Considering the negative coverage the law school gets, isn’t it surprising? Or are these only Gen Y people who graduated before Jindal and newer NLUs existed?
that is amity law school, delhi (ggsipu) and not amity university, noida. even though both these colleges shared the same campus, aur kuch common nahi tha inme.
Correctly pointed out. It was known as ALSD and used to be the only good law school in Delhi before NLU-D came about. The last batch passed out in 2022 and it was closed after that. Now only Amity Noida remains
The only reason it was better "ranked" was because students taking admissions preferred IP campus over Noida. Obvious reasons, and Amity wasn't even as developed back then.
Believe it or not but there are a few actually good students in amity too. The general reputation of the uni is poor because of certain kinds of students who enroll but like most other colleges, there are extremely bright students who have studied or are studying in amity. I have personally seen some really smart amity students in the legal field and you couldn't guess they were from amity until they tell you. I'm not surprised they have good alumni.
Correct. Because reservation is forcing many meritorious candidates, who would have otherwise made it to NLUs, into non-NLU law schools like Jindal, Symbi and Amity.
How do you propose to test merit? To get into ALSD one had to clear the CET exam which had proper negative marking and was equally difficult as CLAT. The majority of ALSD alumni are doing great and are actually placed in some of the best places! Having a biased view towards NLU kids got to stop! Not every student graduating from an NLU is perfect and not every student graduating from a non-NLU is dumb! It's a mix of both everywhere.
and is it any different for other law school students? Does clearing one exam prove that you will do well in life in general? Your scope of thinking is quite limited. Anyone who actually wants to prove his/her capabilities or intelligence does prove it at some point whether an ALS student or NLU student.
CLAT, while a joke in the name of testing intellectual depth, has the ability to ween out kids who are able to understand how to deal with situations properly - how to prioritise time, focus on your strengths, not be dumb by banging your head against your weak points (in sum, how to focus on questions you'll be good at, in a time effective manner). This is basic and what any entrance exam seeks. IPU didn't have much serious competition which is why those things don't stand true for IPU.
Not to say there aren't good lawyers from UPI. Just that, those ones usually don't deny reality and chose to focus on current achievements. The others, go on about how "it's not that bad actually and is quite good in fact" and bang their head against their weak points.
They are all passouts of Amity Law School Delhi (ALSD) which was affiliated to GGSIP University Delhi, and closed for admission since 2018.
Amity Noida, Gurgaon, Gwalior, etc. etc. remain below average in law. You go when you have no option.
In Delhi NCR, NLU Delhi and Jindal global are the best law schools. You can think DU, Jamia, GGSIPU Campus (USLLS), VIPS, SLS Noida as next best choices.

CLC, Jamia, and USLLS are also in Delhi.
